Sonam Kapoor was born on June 9, 1985 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
She is an Indian actress who appears in Bollywood movies.Considered by many to be a talented and upcoming actress, Sonam may have been in the right place at the right time.She appeared with Abhishek Bachchan in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's Delhi-6.
The movie was released on February 20, 2009 and did well at the box office, but the film got generally mixed reception from the Indian critics.
However, after the Oscar performance of the Mumbai-set "Slumdog Millionaire" world critics have gotten behind the movie.
The Bollywood film was praised by the Los Angeles Times and the Village Voice in New York City.
Of course it hasn't hurt that the movies music was composed by Oscar winner A.R. Rahman.
And even better is the fact that Sonam's father Anil Kapoor was also in Slumdog Millionaire.
Sonam is now set to star in Anil Kapoor’s newest production, ‘Ayesha’, an adaptation of Jane Austen’s novel ‘Emma’.
